A personnel location and monitoring system enables on-scene commanders in austere environments to identify, location and manage personnel. The present invention establishes a localized network of geolocation-capable transceivers which can thereafter provide communication capabilities with specially-equipped users as they ingress and egress an austere environment. Each user is equipped with an Individual Geospatial Locational Unit which provides data via a datalink with one or more of the anchors, and ultimately with a base station. From such data and the datalink itself the location of the user as well as the user's biomedical condition can be ascertained. As confidence of the location of the user drops below a predetermined threshold and/or the biomedical condition of the user raises concern with respect to the user's well-being, the present invention modifies the communication and geolocation protocols to prioritize communication and data transfer with such a user.

An electronic device may be connected to an artificial intelligence module, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G service, and the like.

A computer-implemented method for establishing and controlling a mobile perimeter and for determining a geographic location of an RF emitting source at or within the mobile perimeter includes receiving from RF sensors in a network, processed RF emissions from the source collected at RF sensors. The RF emissions follow a wireless protocol and include frames encoding RF emitting source identification information. The method further includes extracting RF emitting source identification information from the frames, processing the source identification information to identify the RF emitting source, and classifying the RF emitting source by one or more of UAS type, UAS capabilities, and UAS model. The method also includes receiving from the RF sensors, a geographic location of each RF sensor and a time of arrival (TOA) of the RF emissions at the RF sensor; and executing a multilateration process to estimate a geographic location of the RF emitting source.

Disclosed is a positioning device, a position measurement server, and a position measurement system capable of estimating a relatively accurate position on the basis of a signal transmitted from a terminal in a mobile communication system. Particularly, the positioning device acquires channel configuration information of an uplink signal of a target terminal, receives the uplink signal of the target terminal through one or more uplink signal reception units on the basis of the channel configuration information, measures information on the received uplink signal, and transmits the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal to the position measurement server, and the position measurement server receives the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal from the positioning device and calculates a position of the target terminal on the basis of the information on the uplink signal of the target terminal.

A method and device for determining a time of arrival (TOA), a terminal device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The method may include: determining a detection start time on a correlation waveform based on a leading edge detection threshold; determining a noise threshold on the correlation waveform, and determining a quasi-TOA according to the detection start time; and determining the TOA according to data information in a target area of the correlation waveform and the noise threshold, where the target area is determined based on the quasi-TOA and a detection length.

A base station determines a window of time for arrival of uplink signals, wherein the window of time includes a start based on a first expected time of arrival for a first uplink signal from a first UE and an end based on a second expected time of arrival for a second uplink signal from a second UE. The base station detection detects a false base station, such as a L1 man-in-the-middle false base station, based on an uplink signal being received outside of the determined window of time for the arrival of uplink signals.

Proposed are an apparatus and a method for estimating the position of a target terminal within a mobile communication system. In general, a mobile communication system is composed of a base station and terminals. In the present invention, one or more positioning devices are placed around a target terminal required to be positioned to measure a transmission signal of the target terminal, and accurately measures the position of the target terminal on the basis of the transmission signal. In the above process, the base station should connect a communication channel with the terminal for positioning of the terminal, and a method therefor is proposed. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for setting a terminal in a standby state to transmit an uplink signal. In addition, an operation and a protocol for positioning the target terminal are proposed.
